Description
TranslateUnique and imposing, semi-detached mansion in eclectic style, located in the center of Turnhout.
The townhouse was built in 1905 to a design by architect (F.) X. Taeymans, and offers no less than 7 to 8 large bedrooms, an office space, a beautiful, two-part living space with a view of a deep, natural city garden, a conservatory and separate garage at the back with two parking spaces.
Numerous authentic elements have been honoured such as the natural stone and wooden floors, high ceilings with rosettes and mouldings, original bathroom and guest toilet, service rooms in the basement, service kitchen, service staircase, etc.
The house offers numerous additional destination options: office, home practice, etc.
The house is located near the Sint-Jozefcollege Turnhout, the tennis courts Windekind, the center of Turnhout and some beautiful natural landscapes within walking distance (Stokste Heide and Nieuwe Bossen behind Turnhout marina (Nieuwe Kaai)).
Ground floor
The mansion is built according to a classic noble-residential design, characterized by a wooden landing staircase against the western side wall. There is a traditional enfilade of living spaces, which means that the rooms are placed in a straight line behind each other, creating an open and connected whole. The spacious (entrance) hall in marble and natural stone separates the 'hall' with 'suite' (now living room) and veranda (with electric screens) in the left bay, from the traditional service rooms, the current kitchen (formerly service kitchen and official dining room) and the office on the street side in the right bay.
The spacious living space is divided into several lounges, each with authentic yet recent heating elements (a wood-burning fireplace on the street side and a cast-iron pellet stove on the garden side). The kitchen with separate dining area has recently been renovated. This includes the following quality appliances: electric hob (Novy), oven (Smeg). The beautiful hall runs through the entire house and opens onto the garden and cellar.
First floor
The imposing wooden staircase gives access to the first floor. Here you have 3 (possibly 4) spacious bedrooms (18m², 21m², 23m² and 12m²), an authentic tiled bathroom with bath, sink and toilet and the service area that can be converted into extra storage space or dressing room.
Second floor
On the second floor there are another 4 bedrooms (18m², 34m², 21m² and 23m²) and a spacious attic space/mezzanine (47m²) on wooden floor, open to the ridge.
Basement
The house also has a full basement (standing cellar): technical room, various storage rooms and the former service quarters, etc.
Outdoor event
The house has as a unique asset a fully walled, south-facing city garden with sun terrace and direct access to the spacious garage at the back with automatic gate (along the street side) and manual gate (along the garden side). This garage can be reached via the Zandstraat behind it.
Particularities:
- Habitable surface: 325m² excl. spacious basement and part attic
- Partly crawl space and spacious mobile cellar
- Central heating on natural gas (Buderus)
- Partly renovated (glazing, kitchen, living areas, most bedrooms)
- 7 (possibly 8) large bedrooms and 2 separate staircases
- In a central location in the city center of Turnhout
- Established as architectural heritage, but not as a monument
- Largely equipped with high-remendement glazing
- EPC label F, but no renovation obligation due to established heritage
